# metis
Access and Query Amazon Athena via DBI/JDBC
## Description
In Greek mythology, Metis was Athena's "helper" so methods are provided to help you accessing and querying Amazon Athena via DBI/JDBC and/or `dplyr`.
#' Methods are provides to connect to 'Amazon' 'Athena', lookup schemas/tables,
## IMPORTANT
Since R 3.5 (I don't remember this happening in R 3.4.x) signals sent from interrupting Athena JDBC calls crash the R interpreter. You need to set the `-Xrs` option to avoid signals being passed on to the JVM owner. That has to be done _before_ `rJava` is loaded so you either need to remember to put it at the top of all scripts _or_ stick this in your local `~/.Rprofile` and/or sitewide `Rprofile`:
```r
if (!grepl("-Xrs", getOption("java.parameters", ""))) {
options(
"java.parameters" = c(getOption("java.parameters", default = NULL), "-Xrs")
)
}
```
## What's Inside The Tin?
The following functions are implemented:
Easy-interface connection helper:
- `athena_connect` Simplified Athena JDBC connection helper
Custom JDBC Classes:
- `Athena`: AthenaJDBC (make a new Athena con obj)
- `AthenaConnection-class`: AthenaJDBC
- `AthenaDriver-class`: AthenaJDBC
- `AthenaResult-class`: AthenaJDBC
Custom JDBC Class Methods:
- `dbConnect-method`
- `dbExistsTable-method`
- `dbGetQuery-method`
- `dbListFields-method`
- `dbListTables-method`
- `dbReadTable-method`
- `dbSendQuery-method`
Pulled in from other `cloudyr` pkgs:
- `read_credentials`: Use Credentials from .aws/credentials File
- `use_credentials`: Use Credentials from .aws/credentials File
## Installation
```{r eval=FALSE}
devtools::install_git("https://git.sr.ht/~hrbrmstr/metis-lite")
# OR
devtools::install_gitlab("hrbrmstr/metis-lite")
# OR
devtools::install_github("hrbrmstr/metis-lite")
```
```{r message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, include=FALSE}
options(width=120)
```
## Usage
```{r message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(metis.lite)
# current verison
packageVersion("metis.lite")
```
```{r message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(rJava)
library(RJDBC)
library(metis.lite)
library(magrittr)
library(dbplyr)
library(dplyr)
dbConnect(
drv = metis.lite::Athena(),
schema_name = "sampledb",
provider = "com.simba.athena.amazonaws.auth.PropertiesFileCredentialsProvider",
AwsCredentialsProviderArguments = path.expand("~/.aws/athenaCredentials.props"),
s3_staging_dir = "s3://aws-athena-query-results-569593279821-us-east-1",
) -> con
dbListTables(con, schema="sampledb")
dbExistsTable(con, "elb_logs", schema="sampledb")
dbListFields(con, "elb_logs", "sampledb")
dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT * FROM sampledb.elb_logs LIMIT 10") %>%
glimpse()
```
### Check types
```{r}
dbGetQuery(con, "

CAST('chr' AS CHAR(4)) achar,
CAST('varchr' AS VARCHAR) avarchr,
CAST(SUBSTR(timestamp, 1, 10) AS DATE) AS tsday,
CAST(100.1 AS DOUBLE) AS justadbl,
CAST(127 AS TINYINT) AS asmallint,
CAST(100 AS INTEGER) AS justanint,
CAST(100000000000000000 AS BIGINT) AS abigint,
CAST(('GET' = 'GET') AS BOOLEAN) AS is_get,
ARRAY[1, 2, 3] AS arr1,
ARRAY['1', '2, 3', '4'] AS arr2,
MAP(ARRAY['foo', 'bar'], ARRAY[1, 2]) AS mp,
CAST(ROW(1, 2.0) AS ROW(x BIGINT, y DOUBLE)) AS rw,
CAST('{\"a\":1}' AS JSON) js
FROM elb_logs
LIMIT 1
") %>%
glimpse()
```
#### dplyr
```{r}
tbl(con, sql("

")) %>%
